The Republic of Mambo 94 is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, parental licensing program, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, cynical population of 943 million Mambo 94ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 49.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Mambo 94ian economy, worth 82.3 trillion currencies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 87,269 currencies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Soldiers' positions are given away by the glint of their bayonets, the roads are notorious throughout the region for their peril, a sincere statement of belief can get you out of anything, and increasing numbers of children in Mambo 94 have different eye and hair color to their supposed fathers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mambo 94's national animal is the animal, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Mambo 94 is ranked 104,279^th in the world and 176^th in Izern for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,188.24 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
